Assigning Client Nodes to a Policy Domain

You may use the Server Utilities or the server command line to assign client nodes to a policy domain. To use the Server Utilities, do the following:

  1. Click the Client Configuration in the TSM Server Utilities tree. The Client Configuration view appears in the right panel.
  2. Click the Client Node Configuration in the right panel to select it.
  3. Click Start. The TSM Client Node Configuration Wizard appears.
  4. Progress through the wizard to the TSM Node Definition and Storage Pool Association dialog.
  5. You may assign client nodes to a policy domain in one of the following ways:

    The server will create a new policy domain if there does not exist one with the same properties as you defined using the Server Utilities. The server-defined policy domains contain both the activated policy set and default management class named STANDARD.

  6. Finish the wizard.

The following figure shows an example of the Adding TSM Nodes with Policy Information wizard:

At the server command line, you may assign existing client nodes to a new policy domain, or create new clients nodes to be associated with an existing policy domain.

For example, to assign the client node APPCLIENT1 to the ENGPOLDOM policy domain, enter the following command:

update node appclient1 domain=engpoldom

For example, to create a new client node NEWUSER and assign it to the ENGPOLDOM policy domain, enter the following command:

register node newuser newuser domain=engpoldom
